In this blog, we discuss the female clit piercing, the clit hood piercing. Until recently genital piercing was quite unusual. In the early 1990’s the clit piercing slowly gained popularity, which kept rising until this day. This blog will focus on the different piercings that can be worn in the clit-hood.
Intimate piercings, through the clit-hood
Although the vagina can be decorated in many ways, we limit this article to the clit hood piercing. Before getting the clitoris piercing, you should be aware of some of the risks involved regarding the nerves that are located in the clitoris. Always ask a professional piercer before getting this particular piercing done.
As explained the clit hood piercing lies just on the skin above the clitoris. The clit-hood can use several types of piercings. Each type of piercing has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below are pictures of the most used types of piercings.
Ball Closure Ring
The Ball closure ring is the most common type of piercing. If the ball closure ring is worn as a clit-hood then the ball can rest of the clitoris, which can provide a pleasing feeling. Ball closure rings are available in all different sizes and materials. However, you should consult a professional piercer or doctor to find which materials are best suited for you. Titanium and solid gold are generally very popular. The thickness and length of the ring are of great importance to ensure comfort when wearing the piercing. Because every vagina is different, finding your own suitable size matters. Your piercer can advise you in choosing the right thickness and length.
Circular Barbell
The circular barbell is a piercing that is often worn as a genital piercing. This piercing is much like the ball closure ring. However, it has a curved bar with a ball on both ends. On the whole, the piercing has a shape resembling a horseshoe. The circular barbell can also provide a stimulating effect on your clitoris. Again the choice of material and size applies on your personal situation.
Barbell
The barbell or a swab is also very suitable to wear as clit-hood or clit piercing. In contrast to the ball closure and circular rings, barbell rods are more stable since they cannot move. The rod may be either straight or curved with balls at either end (which are also used for navel piercings). The barbell piercings can be both vertical and horizontal position. If the piercing is placed vertically the ball can rest on the clitoris, which can be very stimulating. Even with barbells you can choose from a range of materials and sizes. Again size and choice of material is a personal matter and a professional can advise you on this.
Would you like to order a barbell or clit hood piercing? The best option is to consult our loose piercing accessories section and buy yourself a bar and balls. The advantage of this is that you can choose from a range of thicknesses and lengths of the rod and choose from a great selection of balls. You can also consult our collection of tongue piercings, eyebrow piercings and tragus piercings that can also be used as a clit-hood or clit piercing.
Obviously, these types of piercings are not the only piercings that are suitable to wear as a clit-hood or clit piercing. Choosing the right kind of piercing depends on your own personal situation and can be specific to yourself.
